The keystore i use

I'm usind apache-tomcat-6.0.16 with jdk1.6.0_06 (but it was also occur with jdk1.5.0_16)
I have a .keystore file which doesn’t matches the SSL definitions in the server.xml(wrong password).
tomcat 4 handled it well – it was unable to connect to it but the logs showed a friendly messages and the server continue working fine.
However in tomcat 6 when I configured the connectors in the server.xml with default settings or as" org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" 
and I started the service, the tomcat get in an infinite loop which holds the CPU in 90% and keep writing to catalina log the following error:

*************************************************************************
03/08/2008 11:09:37 org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Acceptor run
SEVERE: Socket accept failed

When I configure the connectors to work with “org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol” the problem seems to disappear

Comment 3 Mark Thomas 2008-08-10 10:27:40 UTC
This has been fixed in trunk and proposed for 5.5.x and 6.0.x.
Comment 4 Mark Thomas 2008-08-14 03:41:12 UTC
For the record, neither the alias nor the password appears to be the problem. The only way I could reproduce the loop of log messages it was to take a valid, working SSL configuration and set a value for the ciphers attribute that was not compatible with the certificate Tomcat was using.
Comment 5 Mark Thomas 2008-08-20 16:23:22 UTC
The original patch was rejected. I have just proposed a reworked patch.
Comment 6 Mark Thomas 2008-09-06 13:06:54 UTC
The improved patch has been applied to 6.0.x and will be included in 6.0.19 onwards.
Comment 7 Mark Thomas 2009-05-24 17:19:40 UTC
This has been fixed in 5.5.x/4.1.x and will be included in 5.5.28 and 4.1.40 onwards
